So far, the Bolivarian government has achieved the repatriation of 2,190 Venezuelan migrants.
On Friday morning, a U.S. plane from Texas landed at Simon Bolivar Airport in La Guaira with 208 Venezuelan migrants on board, including two children and 30 women.

This is the third flight carrying migrants to arrive on Venezuelan soil in less than 24 hours, following two planes from the state-owned airline CONVIASA—one from Honduras and another from Mexico—that transported 198 and 313 people, respectively, on Thursday.
As soon as the new group of migrants arrived in Venezuela, authorities checked their identities to verify whether they had any criminal records prior to leaving the country.
So far, the Bolivarian government has achieved the repatriation of 2,190 Venezuelan migrants who had experienced discrimination and mistreatment, especially after U.S. President Donald Trump labeled migrants as “foreign enemies.”
“This is a unique event in the world. The returnees will be reintegrated into our country,” said Transportation Minister Ramon Velasquez, who also serves as the president of CONVIASA.
The voluntary repatriation of migrants is made possible through the “Return to the Homeland” Plan, through which President Nicolas Maduro’s government assists and protects fellow citizens who wish to return to their country.
The recent repatriations of citizens have once again demonstrated that the narrative the United States builds around migrants is false, as none of the migrants have had any ties to the Aragua Train, a criminal organization that Venezuelan authorities had already dismantled and eradicated from the country.
